On FA Cup 2nd round weekend, our featured tie between Leyton Orient of Sky Bet League One and Vanarama National League club Oldham Athletic turned out to be as dramatic as they come.
The Os were 1-0 down to the non-Leaguers with 9 minutes of second half injury time played, when their goalkeeper Josh Keeley came forward for a free kick and headed home to level the scores and ensure extra time.
Then, with 121 minutes played Dan Agyei scored a winner to give Orient a 2-1 victory, and earn them a home time against Sky Bet Championship club Derby County in round three.
Meanwhile Dagenham & Redbridge are one of only two non-League clubs left in the competition, as goals from Junior Morias and Scott Rees gave the National League outfit a shock 2-1 victory away to AFC Wimbledon.
It was the Daggers’ second League Two scalp, after they won at Crewe in the first round and they now have a trip across the Thames to Championship side Millwall at the next stage.
Our other featured match saw Billericay Town return to winning ways in the Isthmian Premier League, a second half goal from Moses Emmanuel proving enough to give them victory at home to Hendon and take them up a place to third in the table.
